Cody

Male · Young · 2 years

Cody is looking for a calm and predictable home with minimal visitors to begin with. He would like an adult only home with adopters who can let him approach at his own pace, and a place in his new home where he can take himself off to when he needs some space to rest. Cody likes to keep all of his toys and attention to himself so needs to be the only pet in the home, he finds interaction with other dogs quite worrying so access to quieter walking areas would be best for him so he can enjoy his walks in peace. Cody has some training under his belt, he is quite a foodie guy so can be encouraged to do training in short, sweet sessions with the help of a tasty treat. He would like a home with a private garden to explore and potter at his leisure. Cody be worried being left so is looking for someone home the majority of the time especially to begin with, any leaving time in the future would need to be built up slowly once he has had time to settle into his new home. Cody will need to meet his adopters multiple times prior to going home with potential home visits to make sure he is settling in well, so please bear all of this in mind when applying. Meet Cody, the 3 year old Dachshund cross Terrier. He is the most handsome little lad, with big Disney eyes and floppy ears. Despite his small size he is an adventurous and active guy and is keen to explore. He absolutely adores his toys, he is always up for a good game of fetch, he prefers to play with his favourite people rather than alone. He does like a fuss once he knows you and can be quite the lap dog, he needs a little time to build a bond and needs you to check in to make sure he is still enjoying fuss time. This super little guy is ready to find his new home.

About Cody

What life with Cody looks like

Cody is a large young adult dog waiting at Dogs Trust Canterbury in Chestfield.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. A larger dog like this one needs daily off-leash time when possible — a fenced yard or regular access to safe walking trails. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Cody, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Cody?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Dogs Trust Canterbury handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Cody on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Cody if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Dogs Trust Canterbury will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Cody already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Cody isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Dogs Trust Canterbury early rather than rehoming privately; they know Cody and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
